Notes

Psalms 60:3

we are staggered from the wine: Yayin, the Hebrew word for "wine," is often associated with drunkenness (2 Samuel 13:28; Isaiah 5:11; 28:7–8; see also Psalm 104:15; Deuteronomy 14:26; Isaiah 55:1). It symbolized God's judgment on the wicked (Psalm 75:8; Jeremiah 51:7).

Psalms 60:1–4

When God’s people experience his discipline, they affirm their loyalty and await God’s answer.

Psalms 60:1–12

The psalmist laments a national defeat and cries out to God for rescue.

Psalms 51:1–65:13

These psalms of David share a common theme. They reflect on the experience of evil. In Psalm 51, the psalmist admits his wrongdoing and asks for God's forgiveness. Psalms 52–64 express sorrow over specific evils David faced. A song of praise (Psalm 65) brings David's laments to an end.
